The Royal Corps of Signals gain
the CNCI certification
/////////////////////////////
T
he first Certified Network Cable
Installer (CNCI) certification for
the Royal Corps of Signals has
been awarded at their base camp in
Blandford, UK.
Leaders in IT and Communications in the
Digital Age for the British Army, the Royal
Corps of Signals entered a collaborative
agreement in 2017 with CNet to internally
deliver the Level 3 CNCI programme to
its installation technicians as part of their
ongoing education curriculum.
Those who have successfully completed
the programme have obtained the
official CNCI certification and are able
to demonstrate the highest levels of
knowledge, skills and expertise in copper
and fibre optic cable installation.

The certification, which is supported by the
network infrastructure sector across the
UK and Ireland, including manufacturers,
installation companies and industry
associations, is recognised as the ‘must-
have’ certification to achieve quality of
installation in an otherwise unregulated
sector. It is the only standardised
certification for the sector, which is now
being specified within tender documentation
for cable installation teams working on new
builds and refurbishments.
President and CEO of CNet Training,
Andrew Stevens, said: “We are privileged
to be delivering the CNCI to the Royal
Corps of Signals. This very first official
completion of the programme is a great
milestone not only for CNet, but also for the
installation technicians at the Corps. The
CNCI content is constantly being updated
to reflect the latest changes in the sector,
so the corps can remain confident that the
programme material is of the very highest
standard, in preparation for its vital role in
communications to the army throughout
the world.”
Staff Sergeant Andrew Poole, Course
Coordinator at The Royal Corps of Signals,
said: “It is evident that the content of the
CNCI is of the highest quality, which is
exactly what we need as our installation
technicians are of the highest calibre. The
information they have taken away from
the programme has proved to be integral
for their job roles. We’re looking forward to
continuing this partnership with CNet and
seeing more of our installation technicians
CNCI-certified in the future.” n
